Dan's an award-winning foreign correspondent specializing in "adventure science." Much like George Plimpton spending a season with the Detroit Lions to write about football, Dan's gone into the jungle with biologists in search of rare wildlife -- and into the tunnel of the world's largest machine with physicists looking for the Higgs Boson. His articles have appeared in Scientific American, International Wildlife, Audubon, Science, Natural History, Cosmos, and on the BBC. He's a TEDx speaker, and held a Fulbright to Australia. He worked for CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, as editor of an on-line weekly magazine, where his office was 100 yards away from the LHC's "injection point." If the machine made a black hole, he'd have been first to know. ...more

Just received an interview request from a Vietnamese newspaper about a new sighting of the "saola" -- the goatlike creature first found about 20 years ago -- wildlife protection in Vietnam, and what the chances are for success in keeping the creatures from extinction.

“The decrees of the emperor end at the village gate.”
Traditional Vietnamese Saying

Conan O'Brien
“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”
Conan O'Brien

Anaïs Nin
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.”
